Flipboard faces issues with Google Reader feeds, promises fix

This was probably the last thing users mourning
the loss of Google Reader wanted to hear. Reports had emerged on Tuesday
that Flipboard had “lost” RSS feeds of users even as Reader died. The
company has promised a fix for the issue soon.

Reports had
emerged that users were being unable to find their feeds on the
Flipboard app despite migrating on to the service. Users took to Twitter
and other social networking websites to vent their anger, forcing
Flipboard to issue a statement that
the feeds were safe and sound. The app makers said that there were
issues with the feeds, temporary in nature, thanks to all the content
that was going into the system. It needed a bit more time for all the
feeds to populate.

Issues will be fixed soon, promises Flipboard

Thanks to this temporary glitch, Flipboard said that users found
that their summary feed was not working. Additionally, some users also
found some content missing, but the company has assured that this
problem was only going to exist till they found a solution to it. The
team did not specify how long the issue would take to sort itself out,
but said that these feeds would start working “soon”.

Clearly,
the issue could not have come at a worse time for Flipboard, with Google
Reader’s demise playing out on social networking websites in its
entirety. It caused quite a bit of a scare for users who suddenly
discovered that they needed to keep their feeds safe and migrate them to
another reader.

Flipboard is one of the leaders in the race to
pick up where Google Reader left off. The application that runs on both
iOS and Android is visually rich and tries to take a more visual route
to displaying news and social feeds.
